The church appears not to be in use anymore. The Hall (n.d.) appears to be used by a local resident to run a small plant nursery. (William MARTINSON, 2013 11 05) _______________________ "A larger church was built in 1865 on the west bank of the Kowie at the site of the present Wesley Church. Obviously by that time there had begun a population-swing away from the east bank". Ref: 1978 Memorial Brochure on Settlers Church, 'Later History' paragraph 4. Submitted by Dorothy Adendorff.
